Every day, countless RSVP volunteers tutor struggling students - in classrooms or virtually, drive home-bound seniors to medical appointments, counsel juvenile offenders, present STEM career choices to students, counsel Medicare recipients, help adults improve their literacy skills, mentor at-risk youth, provide counseling help to struggling nonprofits, read to Head Start preschoolers, lead tours at historic sites & museums, deliver meals-on-wheels, staff domestic hotlines, and so much more. Please consider helping us reach more underserved people in our region. Your partnership will enable us to respond where needs are greatest. Together we can have a strong and lasting impact.

13 GENERAL SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES These Sponsorship Guidelines have been developed by the RSVP Sponsorship Committee, with approval by the RSVP Board of Directors, to provide rules and procedures to be followed in connection with a successful sponsorship program. 1. RSVP attempts to select a diverse group of sponsors for its events to offer a variety of information, services, and products to its volunteers and beneficiaries. 2. Promotion for all events is subject to the prior review and approval of RSVP 3. In the case where the sponsor is the presenter of the program, brief introductory comments about the services of the sponsor are permitted prior to commencement of the program. The information to be presented in the introduction should be reviewed in advance with the RSVP Board or Committee Liaison coordinating the event. 4. RSVP will consider co-sponsorship or partnering opportunities with other associations, organizations or groups, subject to the express approval of the Board of Directors, when the Board determines that any such opportunity serves the interests of the volunteers and beneficiaries. 5. Sponsors may be asked to provide venue setup for events that are held in their offices. 6. In the event of a venue-driven cancellation or change, RSVP reserves the right to reschedule. RSVP does not guarantee a minimum level of attendance at any program. 7. All events held in locations that are not at the offices of your company shall be booked by the RSVP administrator. No sponsor should make their own booking arrangements with any vendor or caterer, without express written approval from the RSVP Executive Director, President, or Administrator. 901 E. 8th Avenue, Suite 200, King of Prussia, PA Phone: P a g e

14 MARKETING AND PUBLICITY 1. RSVP will promote and seek publicity for all events at its expense. If the sponsor creates its own promotional materials (i.e. to send to the sponsors clients and to post on the sponsors website), any such promotional materials shall be submitted to the RSVP Board or Committee appointed to oversee this event. Such promotional materials must be approved by such RSVP representative, before any promotion of the event occurs. 2. The sponsor s name and logo will appear along with the RSVP name and logo in all promotional material and advertisements for the program(s) that it is being sponsored. New sponsors, or returning sponsors with new logos, should their logo to RSVP for review and approval, within five (5) days of acceptance by RSVP of the sponsorship (.jpg or.eps format is preferred). Certain size limitations apply for banner advertisements on the RSVP website. The size of sponsor logos is limited to 120 pixels width by 240 pixels height. The acceptable file types are.gif,.png, or.jpeg. There is no required resolution, but 300 dpi is preferred. 3. All mailings to RSVP volunteers and partner agencies are coordinated through RSVP s administrator. We do not share our mailing lists. 4. All sponsors may obtain event attendee contact information by having a fish bowl style drawing for a door prize. 901 E. 8th Avenue, Suite 200, King of Prussia, PA Phone: P a g e

15 EXHIBITOR GUIDELINES RSVP permits sponsors to set up table or booth exhibits in the areas immediately outside of the presentation room, subject to limitations of the venue and at the discretion of RSVP. This is an opportunity for our sponsors to tastefully market their services and/or products. Sponsors who wish to exhibit shall comply with the following terms and conditions: 1. No direct solicitation of attendees to solicit the vendor s services is permitted at the events. 2. Tabletop exhibits must fit one 3 foot by 6 foot table 3. All exhibits must be arranged so as not to obstruct the general view or interfere with the event. 4. RSVP may direct revisions of any exhibit that does not comply with these Exhibit Guidelines (at the exhibitor s expense). 5. RSVP reserves the right to alter the location and/or layout of the exhibits in the best interests of the overall exhibition and meeting. 6. Sponsors are prohibited from publicizing or conducting of any activities that would attract attendees away from the speaker presentation. 7. RSVP reserves the right to restrict or remove any exhibit that in the opinion of RSVP, detracts from the general character of the program. 901 E. 8th Avenue, Suite 200, King of Prussia, PA Phone: P a g e

16 SPONSOR SELECTION CRITERIA The RSVP board has adopted the following criteria for the selection of its Sponsors for Potential sponsors will be evaluated in the following manner: 1. If there are more interested sponsors than available sponsor opportunities at any sponsor level, RSVP will give preference to prior RSVP sponsors who helped RSVP grow in the past and who have been consistent and cooperative sponsors of our organization. We hope that if you are new to our sponsor program, you will become a supporting organization that we look forward to having return as a sponsor, year after year. 2. The applicant s proven ability to work closely and effectively with the RSVP Board will also be considered. 3. The RSVP Board places great value on its relationships with sponsors who have demonstrated a willingness to step in and assist the Board when sponsor assistance has been needed, such as when the Board has developed a program outside of these sponsor guidelines and has sought a sponsor to support the program. 901 E. 8th Avenue, Suite 200, King of Prussia, PA Phone: P a g e
